Explore patterns with young learners. Use objects in the classroom to copy the patterns on the cards developing early maths skills.
Pupils will have the opportunity to be creative, using objects that they find to create their own patterns. This could include a range of maths manipulatives to explore patterns in number.
Included in the EYFS resource pack
- Pattern cards
- Teacher notes with guidance on how the resources could be used in the classroom
